There was a lot of grumbling but we did manage to complete a short walking tour of the Old Port and Arts District areas.

Janet & I walk at the same pace so we were able to see much more of the city on foot without the old guys.

Janet & I had pre-purchased Hop-On Hop-Off tour tickets through a Groupon deal. Unfortunately the pick-up spot at the cruise port was cancelled as it was now off-season so we had to walk downtown to catch the tour bus. It was supposed to be a 20 minute walk but ended up taking us 80 minutes. Eventually we left JS & Ed sitting in a small urban park while Janet & I went to pick up our actual tickets. The bus driver was very entertaining and we did see a lot of the city. We only hopped-off once to stop for lunch at a very good Tex-Mex restaurant and didn’t get to see the Cheers bar where the TV show was filmed. The walk back proved to be too much for some so half-way there we got a taxi to the ship. Boston was an interesting city but not what I had expected as there was such a blend of old and new, not a designated historical area.Okumaya devam et

The Freedom Trail originated in 1951 and was created to help tourists find Boston’s historic sites. The trail is marked by a red brick line in the sidewalk. We only had time to walk a short distance on the trail.Okumaya devam et

We visited Faneuil Hall that was built in 1742 and currently undergoing exterior renovations. The Hall had been used as a market and for town hall meetings. Today it is still actively used as a public space and home to an armoury museum.Okumaya devam et

This was the only port that we had to use the tender boats to get to shore. There was a long delay for reasons unknown. The Captain hired an additional tour boat and we eventually got ashore around 1 pm. We walked a short distance to catch a public bus that took us to an area called the Cliff Walk. Not only was it a walk along the rocky shoreline but it also gave us a view of the majestic “summer cottages” from the Gilded Age. The largest, The Breakers, was built in 1893 for the Vanderbilts but there was a hefty admission fee of $26 to tour it so we just gawked from a distance. Some of the mansions are now part of a private Catholic university that receives very high rankings in the US. I spoke to one of the freshman and she was shocked when I told her the average tuition fees at the U of M. Her tuition was “way, way more”. The Cliff Walk was 3.5 miles long but it was super windy so we just did 1 mile of it on the easiest paved section. Janet & I also went on a short walk of the historic downtown area of this posh resort town. Ed relaxed with a coffee at a nearby restaurant. John opted to stay on board for the day.Okumaya devam et

This was a very relaxing day with a slower pace than some of the other ports. It’s unfortunate the weather didn’t cooperate.

Our final port of call and it was a doozie. Within one block JS was threatening to return to the ship but we soldiered on. One block later a strong gust of wind blew his Jets cap into traffic.....more grumbling. A kind young man who was walking his dog retrieved the cap for JS. After 5 very long blocks through the gentrified Hell’s Kitchen we arrived at Times Square. WOW!! So many people and flashy billboards. It was a much more compact area than I had envisioned. Next stop was Rockefeller Center with even more people mainly focused on taking selfies. The artificial ice rink was much smaller than it appears on TV. We passed NBC, CBS, ABC, and ESPN TV studios; Radio City famous for the Rockettes; and Broadway theatres.

Our next mission was to get to the 911 Museum in Lower Manhattan. It was extremely difficult to convince JS that I knew where I was going once we went underground to the massive and complex subway system. But we made it! And it was well worth the effort because the Museum was very well done.....disturbing and emotionally challenging.....but very tastefully done. I suggested we have a meeting place as we always get separated in museums but JS didn’t feel it was necessary. Within 5 minutes we had gone separate ways and weren’t to meet again for almost 3 hours. It was very crowded and I took my time with the elaborate displays. Unfortunately JS whizzed through the large museum and then sat at the exit for over an hour in panic mode because he couldn’t find me. He explained that there were too many “white haired women in black jackets” that he followed only to realize it wasn’t me. We retraced our steps and made it back to the ship with less than an hour to spare before the ship’s departure. Finally JS was able to catch his breath and proclaim that he had survived New York City!Okumaya devam et

There were a lot of people everywhere we went but I was expecting it to be much worse.

It was over 5 km from Midtown Manhattan where our ship was docked to Lower Manhattan where the 911 Museum was located. It took two subway trains to get there and the senior fare for a return ticket was only $2.75. Good deal. Parking in Manhattan was $10.00 for 1/2 an hour! I had hoped to try New York style pizza but there wasn’t time to eat.Okumaya devam et
